Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour (164g)
⅔ cup yellow cornmeal (110g)
½ cup granulated sugar (110g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup whole milk (4oz)
1 cup sour cream (8oz)
¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (2oz)
1 large egg lightly beaten room temperature
2 cups blueberries (10oz)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch light colored cake pan with 2-inch high sides; set aside. (You can also use a light color 8-inch springform pan)
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate 2-cup measuring cup combine the milk, sour cream, butter and egg. Whisk until blended. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and blend with a spatula just until moistened.
Set aside ½ cup of the blueberries for scattering on top, if desired. Gently fold in the remaining blueberries using a spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining blueberries over the batter then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 15 minutes then turn the cornbread out on a rack to cool. Serve slightly warm with honey butter or a drizzle of honey.
